IMSL C Math Library
mat_mul_rect_band
Computes the transpose of a matrix, a matrix-vector product, or a matrix-matrix product, all matrices stored in band form.
Synopsis
#include <imsl.h>
float *imsl_f_mat_mul_rect_band (char *string, ..., 0)
The equivalent double function is imsl_d_mat_mul_rect_band.
Required Arguments
char *string (Input)
String indicating matrix multiplication to be performed.
Return Value

The sparse matrix
IMSL_X_VECTOR, int nx, float *x, (Input)
The vector x of length nx.
IMSL_RETURN_MATRIX_CODIAGONALS, int *nlc_result, int *nuc_result, (Output)
If the function imsl_f_mat_mul_rect_band returns data for a band matrix, use this option to retrieve the number of lower and upper codiagonals of the return matrix.
IMSL_RETURN_USER_VECTOR, float vector_user[], (Output)
If the result of the computation in a vector, return the answer in the user supplied sparse vector_user.
Description
The function imsl_f_mat_mul_rect_band computes a matrix-matrix product or a matrix-­vector product, where the matrices are specified in band format. The operation performed is specified by string. For example, if “A*x” is given, Ax is computed. In string, the matrices A and B and the vector x can be used. Any of these names can be used with trans, indicating transpose. The vector x is treated as a dense n × 1 matrix. If string contains only one item, such as “x” or “trans(A)”, then a copy of the array, or its transpose is returned.
The matrices and/or vector referred to in string must be given as optional arguments. Therefore, if string is “A*x”, then IMSL_A_MATRIX and IMSL_X_VECTOR must be given.
Examples
Example 1
Consider the matrix
After storing A in band format, multiply A by x = (1, 2, 3, 4)T and print the result.
 
#include <imsl.h>
int main()
{
float a[] = {0.0, -1.0, -2.0, 2.0,
2.0, 1.0, -1.0, 1.0,
-3.0, 0.0, 2.0, 0.0};
 
float x[] = {1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0};
int n = 4;
int nuca = 1;
int nlca = 1;
float *b;
 
/* Set b = A*x */
 
b = imsl_f_mat_mul_rect_band ("A*x",
IMSL_A_MATRIX, n, n, nlca, nuca, a,
IMSL_X_VECTOR, n, x,
0);
 
imsl_f_write_matrix ("Product, Ax", 1, n, b, 0);
}
Output
 
Product, Ax
1 2 3 4
0 -7 5 10
Example 2
This example uses the power method to determine the dominant eigenvector of E(100, 10). The same computation is performed by using imsl_f_eig_sym, described in the chapter Eigensystem Analysis. The iteration stops when the component-wise absolute difference between the dominant eigenvector found by imsl_f_eig_sym and the eigenvector at the current iteration is less than the square root of machine unit roundoff.
